Divinity Rising: All Part of the Show -

It’s about time. I’ve been so busy,  a couple months have passed without me being able to capture and upload the footage from the zombie fashion show that took place during the release party for “The Dead Walk the Earth”.

And since the haunting season is now past, I am releasing “The Dead Walk the Earth” for viewing online. I hope you enjoy it!   That’s right, this is the official online premiere/release of “The Dead Walk the Earth”!

Special thanks to the many many people involved in making it!

The Dead Walk the Earth

The Fashion Show

It sure has been an intense changing of the season….A real whopper. Everywhere around and within me seems to be a return to feeling: a real purging energy.  I look at myself and many around me and see a lot of hidden feelings surfacing to be faced. It seems that what we are feeling is a push to be real. We are in the midst of a “realing”.

How real are we? Are we being true to ourselves? Are we being real with ourselves and others? What are we hiding behind? My inner child stands within me pointing at different things,  screaming “BULLSHIT” and waiting impatiently for me to toss those things out.

Are you feeling the Realing?

In the crazy swirl of stuff going on, I find myself in a push of growth, progress and surging forward….sometimes, it’s hard to remember to take time to be still when you’re in the middle of such momentum.

When it all backs up, it’s got to surface somewhere, and it surfaced with a waterfall of emotion Saturday. I took a day to really let myself feel and boy, what a feeling. I must have spent a good five hours in tears. I needed it, though. I find that I have a huge need. We all do..a need to be real…a need to be clean…

When’s the last time you took time to do some serious cleaning?

Speaking of being still, Sub Rosa mentalist (who also performs Zap Hypnosis) Joe Riggs was in a car accident this past weekend. It’s amazing, and I’m so grateful to still have him in our lives. He was hit by a semi going 70 MPH..it hit him, spun him ’round, hit him again, causing him to spin out across five lanes of traffic before hitting a wall.  I’m amazed and pleased to announce that he will still be at the show tonight at Diamonds.

Check out this video of him at our show at Sub Rosa: The Gypsie Courtyard at the Tequila Factory

Also, I had so much fun at our Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves show. I was most pleased to be surrounded by Gypsies! Check out this belly dancing by Adrar Al Badra caught on tape by Michelle Bishop

I danced the night away. I miss dancing.  It was a very happy night for me, indeed. Surrounded by belly dancing, pirates, leather working and princess bride references!! Hurray!

Short update this week…I’ve got a lot in the works and can’t wait to spill my guts about it all, but that will have to wait… In the meantime, I hope you are all releasing the feelings welling up within, so you can be clear and ready to go for the new and exciting things on their way into your lives.

Thank you for being here with me.   I need you.

Well, I’m am super pleased to announce that the development of Diaries of a Godling is underway.

Character development, design and sounds.

Sub Rosa continues to grow and pick up new places to gather. This is super exciting for me, because I am able to give some of the opportunities to others as I move forward with Diaries of a Godling.

Yesterday, I spent the entire afternoon with the very talented Mathieu Blake Wallace to produce this special gift.

I’ve been so insanely busy I haven’t been able to make a post in a while, so there’s going to be a bunch packed into one here…

If you missed it, the courier Journal ran a short bit in the Friday features about yours truly and Sub Rosa: The Gypsie Courtyard

Today’s news: RAIN! Lots of it! What a strange 24 hours it has been. The energy at Diamond’s last night was crazy strange and tense. There was a slow start to the night, followed by a few fights.  The full moon is in full swing. We’ve never had fights there before.  Then, I awoke this morning to what sounded like explosions. A HUGE thunderstorm was underway – monsoon! we had 6 inches of rain in 90 minutes.  When it let up, I left mys tudio to set off across town to pick up the kiddo.

Everywhere I turned roads were closed, or rivers had sprung up, blocking roads with unmeasured amounts of water. Those who dared try to cross them found themselves stuck. In other areas, cars floated down roads.  I worked through the city like a maze, turning here and there when I’d come to a blocked road.  I saw one car floating but completely submerged under an overpass with just the tip top of it sticking out above the water.  I finally mazed my way to a road leading to the expressway that was not blocked but was full of awful traffic.  The expressway in the direction I needed to go was complete stand still for miles and miles, so I and others backed down the ramp and headed the other way …I went all the way around the city and found myself where I needed to be.  Loaded up on groceries, picked up the kiddo, and am now holed up at a friend’s catching up on pc stuff instead of the meetings that were planned for today.

Whew! I am so grateful and blessed to be safe, dry and with my kiddo!

That’s it with my news for now, I think. I hope you’re all doing well and that your dreams are unfolding in beautiful ways. Be sure to update me

In addition to all this excitement, a dear friend of mine has been doing pretty well in a music competition:

please help  him stay at the top in the  contest: He’s a beautiful shining light, and his music deserves

You can vote TEN times for the song “Empower” by Tribe of Eden in each category!!!!! EVERY DAY!

here’s how you can help him:

Here are the steps one needs to take to join KIAC as a listener (it’s free) and thereby be able to vote. You will have 10 votes/day in each of the categories my song EMPOWER is entered — ROCK and HARD ROCK/METAL. The plan is to use ALL 10 VOTES for EMPOWER, in each category, once daily. That’s what will give me a fighting chance.
STEP ONE: Create a KIAC User Account
a. Go to this address – http://IACmusic.com/SubmitUser.aspx . Fill in the blanks and submit. TaDa you are done!
STEP TWO: Vote for BRY!
a. Once your KIAC User Account is active, you will see a list of destinations within KIAC at the top of your page – Signup, Login, Charts, Stations etc.
b. Click on “Stations”
C. On the “Stations” page you will find a list called “Contest 2009″
d. My song EMPOWER is entered in the “2009 Hard Rock/Metal Entries” and the “2009 Rock Entries”. Click on one to vote for EMPOWER in that category, then when you have cast all 10 votes for EMPOWER go back to the Stations page and repeat the voting process in the other category.
e. Let’s go through voting for EMPOWER at “2009 Rock Entries”. Click on it!
f. You will go to the 2009 Rock Entries page. Once there, notice a little icon under the word RADIO on the upper right part of the page. It says “sort by # of votes”. CLICK ON IT!
g. Now you will see all the songs in the contest, arranged by how many votes they have. If I do well, you will always see my picture and the song EMPOWER at or near the top of the list!
h. Vote 10 times for EMPOWER and you are done. Then return to the Stations Page, find the Hard Rock/Metal station and repeat the process.
i. You can do this once every 24 hours, but I’m not sure when they measure from.
THAT’S IT! These instructions will make it simple for your friends to go through the process. Once you have your own User Account, voting in both categories takes about 5 minutes/day.

Saturday, march 21, 2009 – We had a blast going to see our friends, the Sirens perform at KY BBQ Co and were honored to be able to perform a few songs during their set.

Kri takes a moment to get personal with the pork

On the way there, we passed this amazing place full of statues and props and other oddities…

Best of all, my son Cody got to get up and provide percussion for us!

I recently released a Mini Ebook, titled “They said I was a boob…or did they say nice boobs?”  It’s a humorous spiel on self acceptance and you can purchase it by visiting the Divinity Rising Blog. Half of the $4 cost goes to buy supplies for the local Children’s Shelter “Home of the Innocents”, where I resided for a short time as a child.

I was also asked for it to be linked to Doc Star’s yahoo group – a group that is exploring the use of his bineural beats.

“And this, our life, exempt from public haunt finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.” – Shakespeare

With the technology of today, you can know what is going on in thousands of people’s heads, but do you know what is going on in yours? With online status updates, you can know what is happening all over the world, but what is happening in your world right now? What do you want? What do you wish? How can you make it happen?

Spirit is always speaking. It just won’t shut up. Its chatter is everywhere. The answers are all there, all the time. We’re surrounded by them. So, I guess you should figure out exactly what it is that you want to know.

I was asked to speak to a college class Monday night, and it was quite an awesome experience. The teacher asked me what people can do when they’re surrounded by babble boxes all the time. (Televisions, radio, and other media).

My answer: turn them off. Just ten minutes a day of quiet can allow you to still yourself and begin to hear more of your own guiding voice. We have to learn to turn down the
“public haunt”.

Why do people have such a hard time doing this? In her song titled Sober, pop recording artist Pink says “The silence screams the truth.” She’s right. The voice of our inner guidance system is a quiet one. It’s subtle and it comes from deep, deep within.

It comes from such a deep place that it’s hard to hear amidst all the stuff floating on our surface that we’ve recently taken in from the stimuli around us unless we take a moment to be without external stimuli.

Why do people run from it? Why do people drink it away? Why are people so obstinate about listening? What is the voice saying that is so unpleasant anyways?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that most people don’t want to hear it because they don’t feel like they are where they are supposed to be and the voice calls them to be what they love.

If we’ve put off listening to our inner guidance for quite some time, there may be a lot about ourselves that we don’t want to hear. It is saying “You are beautiful, shining, magnificent…what you want is okay. You really are a divine creature…just let go of these things that don’t really suit you”.

When the voice is pointing to something “ugly” ,“unpleasant”, or something that makes us cringe, it is showing us something that is holding us back: something we need to surrender and let go of. If we will just surrender and follow the guidance, we will find that it was what was keeping us from being the beautiful vision our heart believes we are. When we can hear the voice everywhere and realize that even trials and tribulations serve to bring us closer to our truest bliss and beauty, we truly can see the good in everything.

How do you still yourself? What is your method of prayer? Do you take time to be quiet everyday? Take the challenge: 10 minutes a day for 30 days. What happens? Leave me a comment and let me know – and tweet this or facebook it while you’re at it!

So, last night we (Doomsday Lover) had a great show at Bearno’s in the Highlands, where they do a great showcase every Sunday night. Much thanks to Chad Cheek for having us out! He also hosts a great open mic there on Wednesdays. Chad is a pretty large part of the Louisville music scene.

The room was packed, the opening act, Recovering Tomorrow, was amazing and it was great to see some old friends surprise us and show up. I was glad to give one of them a horn made of duck lips on a necklace with the following advice: Whenever demons are troubling you this week, say “Duuuuck that” and toot your duck bill horn. It’s your shaman tool to scare them away.

I was able to sing without passing out despite my tuburculotic state, and Tony continues to amaze others with his super guitar and vocal abilities ….He continues to amaze me with his amazing ability to come up with new words like burlesquary and desexatorium.

Best of all, my kiddo got to come and partake by blowing a siren whistle at the end of the songs. A few root beers in, and I learned just what a party animal my son is. I’m not sure the Louisville music scene is ready for him! Amusing other patrons, bouncing off the walls, siren whistle sounds, and he sold his dinner table artwork for a dollar to the host of the night. As we were leaving, we posed for a couple of party photos together and he ended the night like a good party animal. As we walked away he broke off a huge icylce from a nearby gate and stuck it to his head, yelling at the few people outside, “I’m a unicorn!” before saying “RAWWWWWWWWWWWR” and smashing the horn to the ground to watch it shatter. What.a.rock.star.

My boy is turning 11 in a few weeks: OH MY GOD! He’s almost a teenager! I am seriously fearing the party years to come!

We want to thank everyone for coming out and supporting us and the Louisville music scene. We love you!

Valentine’s day is coming. That’s right – and it ain’t gonna’ get me down – no way, no sir! That’s because I have the best lover in the world. That’s right, I have the holiest of hard ons for YOU. HOOOO-LY SCHA-WIIIIIIIIING!

(They always said I had penis envy).

I hope you’ll receive this week’s love offering – some love tools…oh, that’s right…I hope to supply you with things to bring das great pleasure to your other lovers……slather them all over facebook, myspace, email, where ever you feel the need to expel your love to the world – Let them be the oil as you  give somebody a soul rubdown, because this life (and everyone you see in it) is your grandest love affair…it’s waiting for you— and not just to lift it up, wear sexy lingerie for it or bring it flowers – but also  to dance poorly, step on it’s feet, burn its dinner and all sorts of other things that horrify you but secretly endear you to its bosom.

And you don’t have to limit your use of these to just February Love Making – use them anytime, anywhere you like…for stimulating the souls around you should be a regular practice -it’s part of a healthy human existence!
